Poll Which Former Bama QB Would You Want If You HAD To Choose?

[Kburjr]

Even if all time l, I’d stick with one that played after the forward pass was a key part of the game and leather helmets were out the window

Real men don't need a facemask.

 

[Illustrious Potentate]

You need to brush up on your NFL history, bruh. Starr played when men played football.

I get that the game hasn’t evolved since then in B1G country, but the modern players are far more talented in the rest of the country

 

[Kachina]

Recency bias.

Nope.

Contextual reading.

Allows for bigger hits. It shouldn’t be a penalty to tackle a player by the face mask though

I would want a winner for my qb. 5 championships in 7 years don't lie.

 

[Kburjr]

Nope.

Are you one of those that always looks for a bias when maybe, just maybe....one doesn't exist?

Weak competition against teams still running the wishbone and triple option

Nope. Old enough to remove bias from my opinions.

Ha ha ha ha. Sounds like excuses to me.

Nah. Football would have been an unwatchable snooze fest back then. Also, pre Super Bowl era NFL championships don’t count

Wow - that is just the most boomer thing you could say.

I'm not baised because I'm old.

Can't really compare eras. After the NFL started babying qbs and wrs, the stats mean next to nothing. Only winning counts. Beat who is in front of you.

Every QB in the poll won a natty and every team they beat would smoke any NFL team from Starr’s era. Hell, most modern high school teams would. Modern players are too fast for the chain smokers of Starr’s era

 

[rsw626]

He’s like 90 if he’s still alive. He would be terrible right now

Namath is 79 and would still probably out perform any of those guys, while drunk.

Namath was kinda not that good in his prime. I’d like to party with him over any listed though

The change has changed so much, evolved, and now requires so much more dedication and focus.

I bought my Dad a copy of Stabler's autobiography, and that alone shows that times were just vastly different, and players nowadays could never live a life like that and still be HoF.

The amount of dedication, talent, and sacrifices it takes to play a professional sport nowadays, is something those athletes never experienced.

And yet not of those players has won a single championship after college.

"Glory days,..."
